The commission is mulling pos sibilities of cleaning out the perch, catfish, carp and other types of so-called trash fish from several of the state's formerly fine trout fishing lakes. Commission fisheries experts want to clear out the undesir able fish by poisoning them with rotenone. But this method drew some heated opposition yesterday from a delegation from Coos county where one of the com mission's most energetic cleanup programs is planned for the Ten miles lakes, about 12 miles north of North Bend. All agreed that fishing on the lakes should be improved but many of those appearing before the commission did not want the perch and catfish poisoned. They felt these fish could be con trolled by trapping and netting and the restocking of Rainbow trout and silver salmon still could be undertaken with suc cess. The commission heard all the arguments then Chairman Del bert Gildersleeve of Baker an nounced that a decision would be made at the earliest possible date after all factors had been considered. Dr. John Rayner, chief of the fisheries division, said the com mission's proposed lake rehabil itation program for 1955 would cost $272,000, with Tenmile lakes getting $97,000; Devils lake on the north Lincoln county coast, $10,000; Thompson valley reser voir, $15,000; Lake of the Woods in southern Oregon Cascades, $50,000; Drews reservoir and Dog lake, $30,000 and Miller lake $70,000.
